Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the professional experiences of non-native English teachers who have a Global Englishes orientation. Two non-native English teachers participated in this study. They were selected by using a guiding questionnaire. Those who reported having 5o% of a Global Englishes orientation were selected as the participants of this study. For those who did not report having 50% of a Global Englishes orientation would be dropped out from the study. Guided by narrative epistemology, this study employed classroom observation and photo-elicitation interview for data collection. Thematical qualitative analysis was used to analyze the data.

Results showed that non-native English teachers who have a Global Englishes orientation in the era of teaching English as a Global language exposed students to the diversity of Englishes through several activities both inside and outside school settings. Recommendation and discussion were provided.
